Interpreting cancer genomes using systematic host network perturbations by tumour virus proteins

TL;DR: It is shown that systematic analyses of host targets of viral proteins can identify cancer genes with a success rate on a par with their identification through functional genomics and large-scale cataloguing of tumour mutations, to increase the specificity of cancer gene identification.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oncogenic Deregulation of EZH2 as an Opportunity for Targeted Therapy in Lung Cancer

TL;DR: The causal role of EZH2 overexpression in NSCLC is demonstrated with new genetically engineered mouse models of lung adenocarcinoma, and a potent open-source EZh2 inhibitor, JQEZ5, is developed that promotes regression of EzH2-driven tumors in vivo, revealing a potential role for anti-EZH1 therapy in lung cancer and providing the rationale for epigenetic therapy in a subset of lung cancer.
